RADFORD, Va. - Appalachian State University got behind early and could not recover in a 4-1 loss to Radford.

After surprising Radford on October 1 with ASU's first win over them in nine matches, the Mountaineers (5-7, 1-2 NorPac) were returned the favor, and RU (8-4, 2-2 NorPac) jumped on the Black and Gold early claiming a 3-0 lead only 11 minutes into the match.

App has continued to struggle to be in an offensive power this season, and in its first conference road game, nothing was different with Radford out shooting them 21-3 with 14 of the Highlander's shots coming in the first period. RU also held the advantage in penalty corners, 13-4.

Lynsey Daughtry was the hero for Radford as she tallied two goals in the first half, including the first goal only 1 minute, 9 seconds into the match.

Junior Bridgette Street was under constant pressure the whole match and recorded 10 saves on the day. Her efforts put her seven saves away from surpassing Chelsea Dailey for fifth on ASU's career saves list.

Kelly Allaband scored the lone Appalachian goal in the 63rd minute by redirecting Lauren Kloeppinger's shot. The goal is Allaband's second on the season, and its Kloeppinger's team-leading fifth assist.

The Black and Gold get the rest of Homecoming weekend off as it prepares for its non-conference home match against VCU on Sunday, October 17 at 1 p.m.
